John Zavaglia (Mind LIfe)
Counsellor/Therapist, ACA Registered, PC Grad MHN & Neuro, MBA
Addiction can leave you feeling caught in a cycle you know isn't helping, yet find difficult to change. You may be struggling with alcohol, substances or behaviours that have begun affecting your relationships, confidence or everyday life. Together, we can understand what's driving the pattern, gain clarity and develop practical ways to regain greater control and move forward.

Shareen Birges
Registered Social Worker, BASS, GDYMH, MSW
I have worked with both young people & adults with substance misuse/abuse issues & those with diagnosed addictive behaviour. Using motivational interviewing & elements of CBT, I work with a person-centred & strengths based approach to tailor treatment to the personal needs of the individual & their significant others. I understand that recovery can be difficult & how important it is to move at the pace of the indiviudal seeking support. I work on the basis that relapse is part of the process & as discouraging as this can be, it is important to use these set backs as a learning opportunity to better enable the individual to make recovery stick the next time around.

Rita El Alaoui
Hypnotherapist, Hypnotherapy diploma, reiki master diploma.
People often relapse if they still view themselves as an "addict struggling to say no." In hypnotherapy, what I do is help clients practice handling high-stress situations calmly, shifting their mindset to someone who is naturally clear-headed and free breaking the automatic connection by rewiring how the brain sees those triggers and making the craving lose its power.
